Probably has to do with catharsis or some excessive venting of frustration. [21:47] no my mom was quite insistant... if I couldn't manage to keep my affairs in order she certainly wasn't gonna make some poor unfortunate soul do it for me... [21:48] Didn't hurt you, did I, Lieutenant? ::looks around for what could have tossed him to the ground like it did:: [21:48] ::pauses:: Interesting. How do Marines build their pain threshold?

Who has the right to create life? [21:49] No thank you. Id prefer not to spar with someone right now. Besides, this talking actually cleared out my anger... [21:49] It's alright, it was my fault really...I should've noticed that bit hole in the deck filled with water....::*splish-sploosh-squish*:: [21:49] ::smirks:: You misunderstand, Commander. It's for their own safety. A slight miscalculation on my part and a simple restrained attack could turn into a lethal blow. [21:49] what were you angry about? [21:49] Indeed.

[21:50] ::picks up her stave and discontinues the holographic sparring program:: [21:50] ::nods, continuing his patrol with the general:: [21:50] ::continues to follow, falling behind then having to hurry her steps to catch up:: Well, whoever she is, she doesn't deserve a wet date. [21:50] ::eyes narrow a bit:: the Captain and the Commander kept me out of the drill... I recall I am supposed to be on this command team and work with them, it doesnt work quite as well if they dont inform me of such things to help observe [21:50] Not bad, though. How long have you been practicing? [21:50] ::winces as her head twinges again:: Somehow that doesn't surprise me from the person who survived being buried by the Pfhor after killing... how many was it? [21:50] ::Savant rested her hands in her lap and her back against the wall, half watching the room with that blank expression she seemed to carry often:: [21:51] ;:nods:: I'm taking a brief break from writting my complaints up... [21:51] ::emerges a few moments later from the locker room in a new dry uniform and new commbadge:: Ah there, good as new. [21:51] ::notes Savant across the room:: Has she made a decision on Scherezade? [21:52] ::Savant, of course, heard the turn int he Colonel's conversation, but didn't interrupt or seem to notice:: [21:52] I believe she has... speaking of which, she is an excellent sparring partner. [21:52] Five. ::stares at her with nothing but an honet face, no trace of pride or arrogance:: [21:52] ::arches an eyebrow:: Interesting proposition. [21:52] ::pats Forester on the shoulder:: Thanks for the swimming lesson. I'm already a bit late. ::smiles as he passes and points to the pool:: Watch out for that thing, the first step is a doosey! ::Winks:: [21:52] ::nods:: Riiight. ::Winces, letting her head lol back and lets it roll around to try to ease the kink out:: [21:52] <> [21:52] ::nods to Prescot:: I should let you get back to your sparring.. [21:53] ::smiles faintly:: Have a good night, sir. [21:53] ::grumbles as he grips his sword harder:: indeed. I have yet to desicide if Im going to just write a complaint... or do something else [21:53] ::frowns:: Problem? [21:53] What sparring programs do you normally use? [21:53] ::nods at Zunite:: Take care and enjoy your training [21:53] oh of course... [21:54] ::approaches the doorway and taps his chest:: +taps+ Daren to Singer, I'm running a little late, kinda fell into something...I'll be there in twenty minutes....::doors close behind him as he exits:: [21:54] ::looks around to see if she can see anyone else that might spar with her..:: [21:54] <> [21:54] No, just an ache from where I hit my head. It's nothing [21:54] <> [21:54] That would depend on the form of combat I plan on practicing for the day. [21:55] ::nods:: What is your favorite? [21:55] ::mutters as she overhears the name:: Right. [21:55] *** Obs_Santiago is now known as Gibson [21:55] ::purses his lips:: The highest level of the Systema program I still find challenging. [21:55] Drink plenty of water and soak in the hot tub for fifteen minutes. That usually clears me up after a workout. [21:55] ::Savant rose from her place at the wall and walked to the middle of a matted area, flexing her hands open and closed:: [21:56] ::enters the Rec Room, finding Savant and gravitating toward her:: [21:56] ::stood off the side of the matted area:: [21:56] ::mutters and rubs his shoulder, glad he stretched and warmed up BEFORE coming to the gym today:: [21:56] ::sits on the bench and puts the towel over her shoulders, frowning:: Since when did we have a hot tub? [21:56] ...hello [21:56] ::turns from the door and spots the group of officers on the other side of the room, including Oswald:: Mingle, she said.. [21:56] :;walks over to Smith and Maiko:: either of you care for a little sword play? [21:56] Clarence ^_^ [21:57] <> [21:57] i suppose you already know, but i figured i'd tell you anyway. [21:57] ::holds up both hands:: Pass. I haven't even begun to learn techniques to use against swordsmen with this thing. [21:57] Use the holodeck. ::turns to Oswald:: What style, Zunite? [21:57] ::takes his turn to purse his lips:: Systema, hmm. I never really scratched the surface. [21:57] ::she stops to look at him:: [21:57] ;:shrugs:: sabre? [21:57] i've transferred to Logistics, as your second adjunct. ::salutes:: I'll be helping with your upcoming AI project, officially. [21:58] I can be a difficult art to master, but it is indispensible when facing an armed opponent, or several at the same time. [21:58] ::winces:: The LAST time I went into water on the holodeck, look where it got me. And before that, if you count water's alternate identity as snow, I had no luck with THAT either. [21:58] ::smirks at Maiko and continues with Oswald:: Gonna use that laser sword of yours, or are we going to use real weapons? [21:58] <> [21:58] ::She smiled broadly:: Yes, I know. I'm really looking forward to it. I've managed to get a good amount of time on Renegades' analysis lab, as well as some on Coronado. [21:59] <> [21:59] Indeed? I will look into it. I'm afraid I have no programs to spar with. [21:59] <> [21:59] so ... what are you about to do? [21:59] Not specifically, that is. I generally randomize and try my best adapting to different forms of martial arts. [21:59] ::raises an eyebrow at Smith:: real weapons? believe me... the only thing that beats my lightsaber is a false matter sword... [21:59] ::indicates the mats and all:: [21:59] ::takes a deep breath, steeling herself, then heads over to the group comprised of Maiko, Smith, and Oswald, still clothed only in a Starfleet issue bathing suit and a white towel, and of course, wet hair:: [21:59] Right now... i'm trying to decide if I even shoudl try to. [22:00] ::reactivates his sparring program, and continues to hack and slash at the enemy hologram with great intent on his face:: [22:00] Do you have formal training in anything other that the standard Starfleet issue combat course? [22:00] *** Daren is now known as Daren|zzzz [22:00] Training versions of the sabers, then. Don't want to lose any limbs in something like this. ::grins:: [22:00] try to ... create a new AI? [22:00] ::nods;: [22:00] yes. [22:01] ::watches Savant:: Have you sparred with her before? [22:01] ::looks at the figure walking up to them, recognizing her:: Hello Crewman Forester. ::smiles:: [22:01] ::grabs her self a saber and some fencing gear from the computer and suits up:: [22:01] ::nods slightly:: Ma'am. ::nods to the rest, crossing her arms:: [22:01] Creating a life is something I have to think about very deeply before I make the attempt. [22:01] I have training in the master art of my people, and the shadow art, but very little outside of that, in terms of Terran arts. [22:01] ::follows suit and steps onto the mat:: [22:01] ::takes off his uniform tunic and steps onto the mat, doing several stretching exercises to warm up:: indeed. [22:01] Okay, kid - traditional or freestyle? [22:01] And yes, I have. She is a wonderful challenged. [22:01] <<-d>> [22:02] traditional of course.. [22:02] Considering she can defeat any opponent who cannot think as fast as she can. [22:02] mind if I try and help? [22:02] Indeed. I wonder if it is even possible to win, considering how quickly she can perceive time. [22:02] She's nuts. ::gestures at Oswald:: He just wiped the mat with me, she'll probably fall in a few minutes too. [22:02] I think she adjusts well to your difficulty level. [22:02] Sure ^_^ I've always liked input. [22:02] ::ignites his training saber and salutes Oswald:: [22:03] ::to Drexler:: If you'll excuse me? [22:03] ::salutes smith back;: [22:03] in the realm of things, it's an experiment, right? [22:03] ::nods:: As long as I may watch. [22:03] ::nods and walks towards Savant:: [22:03] in the realm of things, it's an attempt to create living software. [22:03] ::sees Ironside coming and steps back:: [22:03] I'm not sure if I should be doing that. [22:03] ::she smiles at Ironside:: General [22:04] ::starts in on a high-inside attack but drops to low outside on a fast reverse:: [22:04] ::nods:: Savant. [22:04] I was wondering if perhaps you would be willing to indulge me in a short sparring session? [22:04] ::frowns that he is unable to discuss his people any further with Ironside...he rather enjoyed revealing secrets of his race to others of late:: [22:04] ::goes for smith's head:: [22:04] ::puts his tunic back on and walks to the snackbar:: [22:04] ::glances as Forester when she doesn't answer:: Busy day? [22:05] ::she smiled a bit:: I'd be delighted, sir. I don't often get the chance... i find it quite relaxing. [22:05] <> [22:05] ::sweeps up in a quick block:: [22:05] ::She smiled at Gibons and mouthed , "we'll talk later" [22:05] ::nodded:: [22:05] Indeed. ::steps back a foot or two:: [22:05] ::drops her attack to Smith's right side:: [22:05] Savant, you won't mind that I referred someone to you. ::smiles:: [22:05] do you have a preference of style or difficulty? [22:05] oh, not at all Sieven ^_^ [22:05] ::Growls as he finishes off his opponent, breathing a bit heavier than normal as he considers his opponent for the next match:: [22:05] ::shrugs slightly:: Stressful, ma'am. [22:06] Challenging difficulty. The style, I leave up to you. [22:06] ::happens to glance over at Prescot the second he thinks that:: [22:06] You may change styles, if you wish. [22:06] ::sidesteps quickly and pops Zunite on the butt:: [22:06] Tag. You're it. [22:06] ::drops her sword and tackles Smith;: [22:06] ::seizes the bar in both hands, trying not to show the anger:: just... a vanilla malt, please [22:06] I never liked swords anyways... [22:07] ::She noddeed and took a few steps back, taking her time to gather herself... lifting one leg up as she chambered a kick, and balling her hands into fists:: Are you familiar with Dorothean Wu Pao Aikido, Sir? [22:07] ::rolls with the tackle, his own sword dropping uselessly away:: [22:07] ::attempts to tickle smith:: [22:07] ::spies Sieven staring at him and bows slightly:: sir.. [22:07] ::smirks at Forester:: That's life on Coronado for you. *Never* a dull moment. [22:08] ::pins Zunite with his big arms and sits atop her, his legs straddling her chest:: [22:08] That wasn't exactly traditional. ::grins:: [22:08] ::uses the force to help her break the pin and sits on his chest:: [22:08] ::tightens his gi belt and crouches slightly, bending his wrists and pointing his hands in a mantis-like fashion:: I've heard of it, yes. [22:08] blah... traditions get too much jazz... [22:08] ::blinks at Prescot, then glances at Ironside:: [22:08] Oof! [22:09] You were the one who knocked me down a moment ago! ::chuckles loudly:: [22:09] ::looks at Smith:: huh? [22:09] This is a variant mastered by Han Chao in the early 22nd century. I'll let you know now, Sir, that I'm limiting my reactions to realistic anatomy. [22:10] ::notes Sieven's attention drawing away and raises an eyebrow at the fight between Ironside and Savant:: [22:10] When I was sparring with D'Rall - you did that same "force push" thing to me. [22:10] ::grins:: Trying to make the XO look like a fool today, "Commander"? [22:10] force push? sir... I do believe you have gone crazy...... [22:10] ::smirks:: I do appreciate that, Savant. [22:11] ::smiles innocently down at Smith from her perch:: [22:11] ::she smiled briefly before her expression smoothed over and she became entirely still.. almost as if the hologram were frozen:: [22:11] ::laughs:: If I have gone crazy, then I think I'll just stay here a while. [22:11] ::smiles slightly:: Yeah. Especially when I'm around the Captain so much. [22:12] and I don't need to try to make the XO look like a fool... he does that on his own.. ::grins and gets up:: [22:12] ::lets the smile fade from his face and hardens his demeaner, sliding upwards onto the balls of his feet and shifting his weight:: [22:12] ::nods:: He just has a way of having all hell break out around him. Not a good thing on away missions... or first contact scenarios. [22:13] ::Savant leaves the kick chambered high up in the air, probably close to as high as she could stretch ... her calf and thigh pressed close together and horizontal... her cool blue eyes watching her opponent:: [22:13] ;:offers her hand to help Smith up:: [22:13] ::frowns slightly but covers it with continued mirth as he accepts her delicate hand in his own massive paw:: [22:14] ::begins circling Savant, deciding she isn't going to make the first move:: [22:14] ::mutters:: Or much of anything. [22:14] ::smiles up at Smith:: but no hard feelings, eh?.... [22:14] ::glances over at Ironside and then hauls himself up to his knees before her:: [22:14] No. No hard feelings. [22:14] ::She doesn't turn to face, quite confident in her ability to defend herself regardless of his direction of attack:: [22:15] ::smirks at Savant:: [22:15] we'll just mark this down as another point for me... running total you - 1 me- 10 [22:15] ::the hologram' [22:15] ::grins:: [22:15] ((oop,s orry)) [22:15] ::stands to his full height and smiles down at her:: Though you don't exactly play fair. [22:15] ::moves in a near blur, coming in at Savant from the side opposite her chambered leg, sharp hiss exploding from his mouth as he attacks:: [22:16] ::shrugs:: that's what you get for hitting my butt... that's not exactly playing fair either.. [22:16] ::shakes her head in irony:: Even when I finally find a form of hand to hand combat I'm good at, everyone else can still kick my butt. I might as well go back to phaser practice at this rate. [22:16] Legal hit. Had the swords been real, you would have lost your legs. ::lays a hand on her shoulder and laughs:: Still, not a bad comeback there. [22:17] ::the hologrma's head turns to keep an eye on Ironside's movements, however, catching the fast movement - but moving just a hair quicker. She spring upwards quickly, using her opposite leg to sweep to sweep her heel towards Ironside's jaw, snapping her chambered leg down to the ground to catch herself:: [22:17] ::sniffs:: [22:18] I would not have lost my legs... had it been real combat I would have chopped you in half at the on slaught... [22:18] ::cocks his head to one side:: Oh, would you have, now? [22:18] ::As she dropped back to the ground her hands and torso twisted to face Ironside, prepared to block his attacks:: [22:19] ::shifts his balance again, having avoided the kick by a hair:: [22:19] ::nods:: I'm big on the whole killing my enemies at the start... i don't like giving them a chance to kill me... [22:19] ::moves in closer this time - quicker in order to deny Savant the use of a kick:: [22:20] ::attacks again, targetting the matrix's thighs, that sharp hiss sounding again:: [22:20] ::she presses him as his balance shifts, sweeping a leg out at his knee... sweeping an arm across his to push his attacks aside:: [22:20] ::steps a little closer:: Oh, is that what it is? [22:20] ::nods:: I value my life... [22:21] ::lets his hands be swept aside, and lifts the leg Savant sweeps at, her foot passing where his knee was, and his leg sweeps about in a roundhouse towards her skull:: [22:21] ::nods:: You're a life to be valued. [22:22] ::smiles at Smith:: can't argue with that.. [22:22] ::frowns:: I mean - yov've... performed - uh - quite admirably - ::coughs:: - as of late. [22:23] ::Savant leans back slightly and keeps her other free hand by his leg, pushing it just enough to keep it a hair's breadth away from her. Meanwhile, with his thigh so exposed, she lifted her knee to slam it aginast his leg... which could very easily give him a quite nasty charlie horse:: [22:23] ::raises an eyebrow at Smith:: [22:24] Had we really faced a warp core breach today, you would have saved the ship. ::smiles:: You a run a fine empire down there. [22:24] ::remains silent, musing as she watches the group:: [22:24] ::bends his outwards with the impact, lessening the blow, while snapping an elbow down into the top of Savant's thigh as he goes down, rolling away as he hits the ground:: [22:24] <> [22:25] ;;grins:: yes... now I must just finish plotting to take over the rest of the universe... ha, ha, ha... ::smiles up at Smith:: [22:25] ::winces, gingerly probing the back of her head with her hand and now starting to feel her split lip:: Maybe that hot tub is a good idea [22:25] ::smiles down at the tiny engineer, not sure what the hell it is running through his head:: [22:25] ::Already leaning back and half-curled up, it wasn't hard for Savant to roll backwards to avoid the blow in a quick summersault. She sprung back to her feet and lifted her fists again:: [22:26] ::flows out of the roll and into another stance, smirking slightly while toying with moving to Ts'ui Pa Hsien:: [22:26] ::finishes his malt and walks out of the Rec Room; he probably had something else to be doing anyway:: [22:26] ::watched, making mental notes:: [22:27] If I stay and watch this, I'm going to bruise my poor ego for sure. ::wan Maiko grin, nods as Forester, then gets up and heads to the women's locker room to change into appropriate attire for the holodeck hot tub:: [22:27] *** Gibson is now known as Obs_Santiago [22:27] ::shakes his head trying to clear his thoughts:: [22:28] ::Savant crouches down into a very low stance, one leg forward while supporting her weight on the back one... both fists raised and half extended. Sieven would recognize it as the vulcan fighting form which she had used against him during their first spar:: [22:28] ::head hurt? [22:28] ::moves to a bench - one near to Savant and Ironside - and lays his face in his hands, sighing deeply:: [22:28] ::decides to hold back on that for a moment, moving in on Savant again, this time with a series of pointed attacks intended to force the defender to counter attacks coming at them from increasingly different angles:: [22:29] :;watches Smith, for a moment and then goes over a sits next to him:: [22:29] ::she moved with the attacks this time, keeping him in front of her... keeping her balance away form his attacks, and only pushing his fists and feet aside with brief gestures:: [22:30] *> ::emerges from the locker room dressed in a flattering but tasteful one-piece bathing suit and heads for the holodecks:: [22:30] ::laughs into his palms:: [22:30] ::switches the focus of his attacks, aiming at her forward and extended leg, forcing her to shift her balance towards him in order to properly counter the blows:: [22:30] problems ole man? [22:31] ::shakes his head and leans back:: [22:31] Just... ::looks at Zunite:: ...thinking about when I was younger. [22:31] HD1> ::enters the holodeck program of a hot springs resort in Japan, picking her way down the slippery stone path towards the first of three pools of hot spring water:: [22:31] what about when you where younger? [22:31] ::she doesn't do as he predicts, entirely. With her centre of gravity so low and her balance so well refined, she's got little problem in letting him move her leg about, almost none of her weight was on it. She was able to keep his attacks from really skewing her stance, and that was enough:: [22:32] Or... more appropriately... how I would like to be a younger man again. [22:33] oh... [22:33] ::swallows hard:: [22:33] ::in mid-motion, switches from a pointed attack into a grapple, half-slapping/half-tossing Savant's extended leg to the side, spinning her:: [22:33] ::glances at Ironside and Savant:: [22:34] ::quickly switches feet and lands a swift kick into her exposed backside, withdrawing just as quickly:: [22:34] ::With that attack, she judged that the timing was right... she leapt up high in the air and swung her foot around towards his head just as his foot was licking towards her:: [22:34] You know, all this lately - the skydiving, the sparrring - and especially having you there with me - it's all made me feel a bit younger. [22:34] ((kicking, even)) [22:34] ::smirks:: Made me feel forty again. [22:35] <> [22:35] forty eh? [22:35] and here I always seem to feel older... [22:36] ::bluntly grabs the foot with both hands, and with Savant having only gravity acting on her, tugs and tosses her to the ground by the leg:: [22:36] ::grins:: You carry yourself well, for someone as young as you are. Guess being around us old timers helps you with that. [22:36] ::She was surprised by his reaction time, most wouldnt' have had time to do that.

[22:40] ::snaps out his opposite hand as she pushes away a blow, grabbing the deflecting arm and yanking the arm down past his thigh, drawing Savant's head in towards a snapping elbow:: [22:40] ::shrugs;: i don't remember... [22:41] though I don't like anyone who comes into my department uninvited... sor probably not.. [22:41] ::Sieven began twirling around, somehow ignoring the friction on the mat below as if on ice... he slowly built up rotational speed to a point where centrifugal force began pulling his limbs out from his axis.:: [22:42] ::She raises her other arm and shoves it into his armpit as the elbow comes down, getting her arm and shoulder in the way of the attack... simultaneously lifting a knee to the oh-so-vital groin area:: [22:42] you didn't like me... [22:43] I know I wasn't the best I could have been. And no, I didn't like you. You were arrogant. Conceited. And rather absorbed with the importance of your own department. ::grins:: And you certainly didn't want to follow orders from an old bastard like me. [22:43] ::pushes off with both feet as the knee extends, jumping up slightly, and then pushing off the very knee attacking him so that he pinwheels backwards, a leg snapping towards Savant's chin as he does so:: [22:43] ::Quietly, effortlessly, he began snapping kicks up into the suspended orb, which rebounded off the wall and back towards Sieven. Continuing to spin, each successive kick snapped the ball back into the wall, and was rebounded back to Drexler's waiting kick.

A lot better than security did, that's for sure. [22:45] ::continues the pinwheel, his push carrying far too much inertia for Savant's hands to do much more than slip off, and lands on his feet, doing a backflip away from Savant and returning to a standing position:: [22:46] ::smiles:: I'd take you by my side over Mr. Marcy any day of the week. [22:46] ::smiles;: of course... my department is the best on the ship...

I can't imagine much of anything else to improve morale. The last potluck dinner, I heard, was more like a pitiful dinner. [23:48] hm? oh. I've been recently told that there is an unused and open set of holographic interpolation matrixes available.. and I've been asked by Captain Morgan if I want to create an offspring process to occupy it [23:51] Hmm I missed that one... ::blinks as he hears savant mention reproducing:: You are going to be able to preproduce?

[23:53] Would your 'child process' be a less mature version of yourself or a whole new program or something taking on aspects of yourself and another?

Im sure you will do the right thing [23:54] thank you for your confidence ^_^ [23:54] ::smiles:: (q) im sure she will [23:55] I'm just not sure if it's the right thing for me to do.

[23:56] Well wouldnt it be a better thing for the Renegade?? [23:57] I wouldn't worry ma'am. ::smiles reassuringly:: After all, even if it is a new entity, it will have been born from one with plenty of experience, knowledge, and wisdom.
